Imagine our potential as a seed, lying dormant until all the conditions are just right:

Housing is secure and local food is abundant. Our economy is not reliant on unpredictable outside forces. We have the freedom to work from a place of passion. There is no active or subliminal aggression against us. We have material independence so we cannot be controlled by wealthy corporations. Transparent communication is expected, so misunderstandings are easily forgiven. We feel comfortable and strong in our bodies and have support for injuries and illness. We can share life with our chosen families and neighbors, co-regulate, and support each other though life’s challenges. We have mentorship programs to develop practical skills. We feel a sense of belonging. A deep cultural understanding of our ecology opens up our awareness so we can notice the simple joys in all things.
